Edmonton Transit (ETS) recently gave the some of the cities LRV's the new paint scheme introduced in 1997 it was a long time in the making but i beleive it looks pretty good.

post it!

Well the BART extension here is doing really bad. We also have the highest bus operating costs in the country. We have the worst transit agency in the country. It is so cool.

Here is a picture of the Yan Track at Mammoth. The cabins looked tan and the track is green with silver wheels.

That would be vancouverguy. IT doesnt look too bad, it was just kinda pointless. It does nothing busses couldnt do; and busses are cheaper and can run more frequently if needed.

I bet it was only built because Dave McCoy happened to like Yan's lifts.

I wish it was almost done. It looks like it is, but it is not opening for another year and a half. It will be really nice when it opens.

That's quite the timeline. Problems securing right-of-way?
